[Cyan_phoeniX]

The Silmarillion. Easily the book i've read most. And each time i read it i appreciate it more and more.

 

[Siddhartha]

Siddhartha, By Hermann Hesse

It's a great book about a man's journey into the unknown, self control, greed, endulgence, and eventually, spiritual enlightenment.
If you are going to read anything in your life, this is it.

The Rice Mother - Rani Manicka

Deadeye Dick - Kurt Vonnegut

I don't know about all-time favourite...I don't have one of those. Hell, I can't even pick just one all-time favourite author
Plus, most of the stuff I read is in a series.

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas is a very good book though.

Don't really have a FAVOURITE book. However I recently read
'Kafka On the Shore' and
'The Five People You meet in Heaven'
and was totally absorbed in them both.
The kind of books which you are still pondering several months after you have read them.

 

[aingel]

The five people you meet in heaven and memoirs of a geisha have to be two of the best books ever

 

[watatank]

Power of One/Tandia by Bryce Courtenay

 

[lengy]

Hard to choose between Origin Of A Species by Charles Darwin and The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.
